Jieshi is in the east to see the sea.
where there is water, there are mountains and islands.
there are many trees and plenty of herbs.
the autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging.
the trip to the sun and the moon, if out of it.
if the star is brilliant, it will come out of it.
fortunately, even! Sing with ambition.
Second, writing background:
In the twelfth year of Jian 'an (27), Cao Cao led an army to conquer Wuhuan, a great disaster in the northeast at that time. This is an important war in Cao Cao's great cause of reunifying the north. On the way to the expedition, he wrote the Yuefu poem "Step out of Xiamenxing" (belonging to "Harmony Song? The tune "). This group of poems consists of five parts, beginning with the word "Yan", that is, a preface poem. The following articles are named after the poems respectively, which are Guancanghai, Winter in October, He Shuo Han (also called "Different Soil") and Guithough Shou. From the perspective of music melody, the five parts are a whole, and from the perspective of lyrics content, the four parts can be independent.
"Watching the Sea" was written in September this year when Cao Cao climbed Jieshi Mountain on the way to Wu Huan's victory class. This four-character poem depicts the grandeur of the motherland's rivers and mountains through the natural scenery seen by the poet climbing mountains and looking at the sea. It not only depicts the moving image of the mountains and the sea, but also expresses the heroic and optimistic enterprising spirit of the poet. It is a famous work describing natural scenery in the Jian 'an era, and it is also one of the earliest masterpieces in Chinese classical landscape poems.
Third, appreciation:
"If the trip to the sun and the moon comes out of it; Xinghan is brilliant, if it is out of it. " The movement of the sun and the moon seems to haunt the embrace of the sea, and the brilliant galactic stars seem to be wrapped in the mother's belly of the sea. Look, this is the spirit of the sea, the mind of the sea. It's so spectacular and magnificent.
The poem "Looking at the Sea" is full of scenery, in which there are no words to express feelings directly, but reading the whole poem can still make people feel the poet's feelings deeply entrusted by it. Through the poet's vivid description of the rough sea, we seem to see Cao Cao's great ambition and grand mind to forge ahead and unite the country, and touch the flow of his thoughts and feelings in a typical environment as a poet, politician and strategist. The whole poem is simple in language, rich in imagination, magnificent, desolate and tragic, which has been greatly appreciated by readers of all ages. Shen Deqian commented that this poem "has a cosmic atmosphere" in "The Source of Ancient Poetry". This is very accurate.
